Tap one to open it.

50+ Senior Tap

This last year we offered a new opportunity for our senior dancers aged 50 plus! We have a one hour tap class during the day that incorporates stretching, balance, tap steps, memory, choreography, weight changes, coordination and a lot of fun!

Acro

Dancers learn acrobatic skills, develop flexibility, and build stamina. Acro skills will be paired with choreography and dance skills. Students will be required to master certain skill sets before enrolling.

A leotard class, like ballet tech and pointe.

Adaptive Needs

We are in our 14th season of having our adaptive needs classes. Our younger class includes creative movement and more of a jazz funk style, and our older class focuses on creative movement adding tap. Each class has a group of junior staff assigned as their buddies to help assist with learning and focus, and our teachers are certified in adaptive needs and work as paras for special needs in the Liberty School district.

Adult
Adult class

A class for women who want to get their groove on! Ladies of all shapes, sizes and ability come together to learn fun and sassy tap, jazz and hip hop routines during this upbeat, active 60 minute ladies night out. No dance experience required!

Ballroom
Brock and Izzy

Focuses on partnering as well as multiple styles of ballroom dance such as swing, jive and Latin styles. Students will learn age appropriate tricks and lifts with a partner, emphasizing trust and teamwork.

Ages 7 up. Because everyone needs a partner, boys are enrolled first and girls join a list, then dancers are matched by size once enrollment closes. Existing partnerships stay together.

Boys Hip-Hop
boys hip hop

Classes are instructed by male teachers with diverse dance backgrounds who will introduce the boys to a variety of styles. These classes also focus on developing the ability to freestyle.

Commercial

Commercial dance is a style of dance that is designed to be performed in front of an audience. It is a broad category that can include everything from hip-hop and jazz to street styles, contemporary and latin. Commercial dancers must be able to perform with energy and precision while still making the routine look effortless. It is usually a fusion of styles and is used in sporting events, dance team, commercial and television work.

Contemporary
A contemporary dancer mid movement

Contemporary dance is a style of Concert Dance, or dance intended to be performed for an audience, that incorporates elements of Modern Dance, Ballet, Jazz, and Lyrical, as well as various other dance styles. Popular on such dance shows as World of Dance and So You Think You Can Dance, contemporary has gained a lot of popularity over the last decade.

Girls Combo

Ages 3 to 18 will primarily focus on a combination of tap and ballet, while ages 10+ will have a combination of jazz and ballet with tap offered separately.

Glee
A Glee class singing and dancing together

Focuses on developing our students into triple threats through singing, acting and dance. Classes focus on vocals, reading music and finding harmonies within a song, and dance moves are added in to create a fun and dynamic performance.

Jazz Funk Hip Hop
Avery trick

Students will learn to dance with high energy and differentiate movement from smooth to sharp isolations. Classes are high energy and have a sassy, jazz flavor with a focus on age appropriate style and moves. This is a girls dance team type choreography (girls version of hip hop)

Lyrical
Caylee lyrical jump

A ballet based dance that focuses on expressing the meaning of the music through movement. Classes will strongly emphasize developing technique as well as teaching students to relate to the songs they are dancing to and portray the emotions described in the lyrics.

Musical Theater
Mary Poppins musical theater group

Dancers learn to portray a variety of characters with their faces and movements while lip-syncing along to some of their favorite songs, from Disney to Broadway.

Tap

Our studio introduces tap students of both genders to both traditional tap steps as well as more modern, street style rhythmical tap styles. Our highest level of tap students will be challenged with fast-paced traditional tap steps as well as matching rhythms in a cappella tap dances.

Technique
pointe dancers

Students focus on barre work, leaps, turns and ballet terminology as they grow in their strength and understanding of the most basic form of dance. Prepointe, Pointe, Ballet Tech and leveled Technique classes available.

We have tryouts for our competition team every summer, and the season runs with the dance season.

Good to know

A few things families ask about most.

Some classes are training, not performance

Acro, technique, and flex and stretch are skill based classes that focus on technique, flexibility and training. They do not do a recital dance, which is the point of them.

Your child's color is worth knowing

Colors are how a combo class is grouped through the year, for pictures, show splits, recital tickets and costumes. They change every year on purpose, so that no color comes to mean something it does not.

Adults and Dancing Dads

Weekly classes for both the Adult classes and Dancing Dads start in January.

New to the studio? What to expect

Everybody starts somewhere, and nobody starts good. These are the questions families actually call and ask, answered straight.

New here? You start at the beginner level for your age.

New students go to the beginner level at their age, and are evaluated during the first month of classes.

The first month is an evaluation, not a test.

We spend the first month observing all of our students. We start back out with basics and make sure we catch the whole class up to the same level. If we find that we have placed someone in a class that is either too easy or too difficult, we will make the recommendation to move them. Ms. Kim meets with all the teachers after the first four weeks.

Classes are split by more than age.

Many studios put thirty kids in a class because they are all the same age. That leaves one dancer bored and another one lost. We split classes on age, skill set and the ability to focus and advance, which makes class much better and enrollment much harder.

What Invite and Approval actually mean.

Invite is primarily for competition level students, and Ms. Kim approves those. Not every comp dancer qualifies, and advanced dancers who are not on comp team can be in them. Approval is for leveled classes such as contemporary, lyrical, musical theater and acro, where age is a guideline and skills decide the level.

Not sure where your dancer fits? Just ask.

Email or Facebook message Ms. Kim and tell her what your child wants to take. She makes the recommendation from last year's evaluations and their current skills.

Stay in the lobby, or drop off and pick up.

Whichever suits you, and neither one is the thing you are supposed to do. Plenty of parents settle in the lobby. Plenty go and run an errand, grab a snack at J&S Pizza, or sit in the car with an audiobook and enjoy the quiet. Our front desk staff are parents too, they know our dancers by name and face, and they will text or call you if yours needs you. Stop by and get to know us.

You can start into the season for some classes.

Depending on the class there is a cut off to be in the recital. Always message us. We will do our best to get you into a class.

Ms. Kim places every dancer herself.

The Ultimate White Ballet Slipper service. Not a form, not a guess: she works out the right age, skill level and classes with you, so nobody lands somewhere that embarrasses them.
